"Delightful jelly-filled cake topped with buttercream, chocolate, and candies."
Ingredients:
  • 375g butter, softened
  • 376.25 gm caster sugar
  • 8.80 gm vanilla extract
  • 6 eggs
  • 675.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 386.25 gm milk
  • 20.00 ml raspberry jelly crystals
  • 20.00 ml orange jelly crystals
  • 20.00 ml lime jelly crystals
  • 180g white chocolate, chopped
  • 83.33 gm thickened cream
  • Blue, pink and yellow gel food colouring
  • 62.50 ml mega M&M’s
  • 40.00 ml M&M’s
  • 20.00 ml mini M&M’s
  • 6 gumballs
  • 250g unsalted butter, softened
  • 450.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 41.20 gm milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 23cm square cake pan, and line the base and sides with double layers of baking paper.
  • With an electric mixer, whip butter, sugar, and vanilla until airy and creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gently fold in flour and milk in two batches until fully mixed. Pour batter into the pan, even out the top, and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If the cake is browning too much, cover it with foil. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer in the center; it should come out clean. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Use a wooden spoon to create deep holes in the top of the cake, about 4cm apart, making sure not to pierce through the bottom of the cake. Flip the cake onto a wire rack lined with baking paper and let it cool completely.
  • Place the cake on a 30cm square cake board or serving plate. Follow the packet directions to prepare jelly crystals in 3 separate heatproof bowls with 1/4 cup boiling water and 1/4 cup cold water for each flavor. Refrigerate for 2 hours until thickened. Transfer each flavor into a snip-lock bag, cut off a corner, and pipe the jellies randomly into the holes to fill. Cover the cake and refrigerate overnight until the jelly sets completely.
  • Prepare the Buttercream: With an electric mixer, whip the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate the icing sugar mixture and milk, continue beating until fully blended. If needed, trim the cake's top with a serrated knife. Evenly spread the luscious buttercream over the top and sides of the cake.
  • Combine chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high power for 1 to 2 minutes, pausing to stir with a metal spoon halfway through, until mixture is melted and smooth. Split mixture into 3 bowls. Color one bowl blue, one pink, and keep the last bowl yellow using gel food coloring. Let stand for 10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  • Spoon colorful ganache over the cake, letting it cascade down the sides to create a paint-like effect. Decorate with art supplies and candies. Serve and enjoy!
